You are also strongly advised NOT to enrol in MAS120 & MAS110 at the same time. In order to successfully complete MAS120,you will require the knowledge gained from the successful completion of MAS110.

Special requirements

No special requirements

The ideas and techniques considered in this subject are basic to many applications of mathematics in engineering and in the biological, physical and social sciences. Mastery of these ideas and techniques at this stage will greatly help later on with an understanding of these disciplines where they are used. They also form a background prerequisite for the subjects MAS130 : Calculus and Matrix Algebra.

You are also strongly advised NOT to enrol in MAS120 and MAS110 at the same time. In order to successfully complete MAS120, you will require the knowledge gained from the successful completion of MAS110.

Murdoch University advises that students who do not successfully complete MAS110 before attempting MAS120 usually fail MAS120.
